Rooted in a lifelong connection to eastern Long Island’s coastal waters, local waterman Paul Brooke has launched Montauk Wild Oysters Co. to bring interactive bivalve tasting experiences directly to South Fork residents and visitors. Raised alongside commercial fishermen in Montauk and drawing on years of ocean exploration, Brooke turned his passion for wild foraging and freediving into an educational culinary venture celebrating wild Eastern Oysters harvested straight from Lake Montauk.
The business specializes in private event bookings, retail sales, and curated raw bar experiences at prominent regional resorts, including Marram and Hero Beach Club in Montauk, as well as The Roundtree in Amagansett. Guests receive hands-on instruction covering coastal aquaculture, proper shucking technique, and shell handling, followed by freshly opened oysters served alongside classic accompaniments. Additionally, the company has expanded its regional retail presence through a shellfish harvesting partnership with Amber Waves in Amagansett, alongside direct-to-consumer delivery options.
By merging sustainable foraging practices with interactive raw bar service, the venture offers an intimate look at the East End’s native marine resources. Whether providing private shucking tutorials or supplying local farm stands with wild-harvested stock, Montauk Wild Oysters Co. delivers a genuine tide-to-table connection that honors the region’s deep fishing heritage.
